Abstract
A cold-rolled and heat-treated steel sheet having a microstructure consisting of, in surface fraction: between 10% and 30% of retained austenite, the retained austenite being present as films having an aspect ratio of at least 3 and as Martensite Austenite islands, less than 8% of the Martensite Austenite islands having a size above 0.5 μm, at most 1% of fresh martensite, at most 50% of tempered martensite, and recovered martensite containing precipitates of at least one element chosen among niobium, titanium and vanadium. A method for manufacturing the cold-rolled and heat-treated steel sheet is also described.
